Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 139: Aunt Zhao Arrives

But Daiyu was still thinking about the Qin family's secret room. At nightfall the next day, she took Xueyan and Baishao and sneaked over there again.

"Miss, it's not a good idea to leave you alone in there!" Xueyan was still honest. She felt uneasy when she thought about Daiyu having to stay alone in this secret room for a whole night.

Daiyu waved her hand nonchalantly and said jokingly, "Just remember to come back and pick me up, or I'll really have to tear down the floor tiles myself!"

Xueyan covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing: "Girl, you are still joking at this time!"

The Daiyu in front of him was no longer the frail girl she was when she first came to the capital. Instead, she gradually revealed the aura of the late lady that Nanny Wang had mentioned. He couldn't help but feel a little more at ease.

Bai Shao always put Daiyu first and followed her instructions without hesitation.

On the way back to Lin's house, Xueyan looked back every three steps, and she was always worried about Daiyu. Baishao saw this and persuaded her for a long time, and she reluctantly followed Baishao. But she was thinking about Daiyu in her heart, and Xueyan didn't sleep well all night.

In the secret room, Daiyu adjusted the positions of the furnishings, cleared a small space in the corner, then took out the mat that had been prepared long ago from the warehouse, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.

With the bonus in the secret room, combined with the soul stone, Daiyu's practice effect in one night cannot be said to be rapid, but compared with her previous practice while sleeping, it is much better.

If she didn't have to show up in front of people every day, she really wanted to stay here forever. When she was hungry, she drank some nutrient solution sold by the beast in the system mall. It was cheap and large, and only one point per bottle. Compared with the soul stone, it was almost free.

She waited in the corridor according to the time agreed upon with the maids.

When the floor tiles began to slowly fall, but not yet completely, Daiyu jumped out, but found that only Xueyan was outside. She was puzzled and asked hurriedly, "Why is it so late? Where is Baishao?"

Xueyan looked anxious: "Someone just used the bathroom, Bai Shao went outside to guard, leaving me here to wait for the girl."

Daiyu's heart tightened, and without delay, she and Xueyan restored the small couch to its original state, and then the two of them went out to look for Bai Shao.

Outside, the night faded and the sky turned slightly white. Xueyan followed Daiyu closely and advised her with some concern: "Miss, you should try to avoid places like that in the future."

Daiyu sniffed the smell of herself and Xueyan, and it was indeed a bit pungent. She didn't know which servant had gotten angry, and the smell was so overbearing. She promised, "Okay! I won't go there again!"

Last night, her cultivation had entered the realm of initial understanding, and she could clearly feel the changes in her soul. Moreover, this soul cultivation method requires a long period of accumulation, and each realm is a process of qualitative change leading to quantitative change. It is difficult to make significant progress in a short period of time, so she did not rush for success.

After returning to the Lin residence, Daiyu took another nap. However, it felt like she hadn't slept for long when she heard a voice calling her.

She opened her eyes slightly, her consciousness still hazy: "What's wrong?"

Qingwen's face was puffed up with anger. She frowned and said something rude: "It's still the one who likes to wander around! It's useless to hide in my own house. She still came to my door."

Daiyu sat up and immediately came to her senses. She couldn't believe her ears and her voice became louder: "What did you say? Say it again?!"

"Young lady..." Qingwen said aggrievedly, "That young lady from the Xue family has come to our house and is now drinking tea in the back room next to the corner gate!"

Daiyu sat quietly on the bed for a while before she got up and began to change her clothes. At the same time, she did not forget to ask Qingwen: "Didn't she see the white couplets posted in front of our house?"

Qingwen also thought this was outrageous: "You should be able to see it. We used this reason in the Jia Mansion to refuse her from entering the courtyard."

Daiyu sneered, with disdain flashing in her eyes: "It's just that Nanny Gu is not in the house, so I can't do anything to her. Otherwise, would Sister Baochai, who has always been tactful, do such a stupid thing! Is Nanny Liao in front?"

"Yes, Madam Liao asked me to come back and ask the young lady whether we should bring her in."

Daiyu ordered Qingwen in a deep voice: "Go tell Madam Liao that my father is not in the capital and I am in mourning. There is really no host in the mansion to entertain her. Remember, send someone to escort her back respectfully, all the way to the Jia Mansion, and make sure she is safe and meets the Jia family's servants before you come back."

Qingwen nodded in agreement, turned around and left in a hurry.

Daiyu was the only one left in the bedroom again. Since she was already up, she did not stay in bed any longer. She put on neat clothes and went to the martial arts field.

Xue Baochai's sudden visit did not bring any disturbance to Daiyu's life. Instead, she received Zhao Ma, who was sent by Xu Zhilan.

"Oh! What a pretty girl!" When Aunt Zhao saw Daiyu coming in, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

She looked at the little girl in front of her, who was wearing a sable fur cloak, which made her small face look even more delicate. Her whole body exuded the softness of the south of the Yangtze River, and her eyes and eyebrows showed heroic spirit.

A flattering smile immediately appeared on her face and she stood up and saluted.

Daiyu smiled slightly, bowed to Aunt Zhao, walked slowly to the seat of honor and sat down, and asked, "Aunt Xu, what's the matter?"

Nanny Zhao also sat down and said, "After hearing about the Jia family's affairs, our madam has already written a letter to Old Lady Jia. She hopes that Old Lady Jia will consider our madam's feelings and stop pretending to be deaf and dumb and allow Wang to continue to stir up trouble."

Daiyu didn't expect Xu Zhilan to send someone here for this matter. She originally thought that Xu Zhilan sent someone here just to inquire about the arrangements for the Qingming Festival ritual as usual.

She was a little flattered. She stood up and bowed to Madam Zhao again. Even though Madam Zhao offered her hand to support her, she insisted on completing this great ceremony.

After the ceremony, Daiyu raised her head and said gratefully, "Aunt Xu treats me so well, I really have no way to repay her!"

Nanny Zhao held Daiyu's hand, couldn't help stroking it, and said politely: "Speaking of which, many royal families used to be on good terms with the military families, but after that incident... ahem, after that, everyone reduced their contacts. Madam, rest assured, if there is anything unpleasant in the Jia family in the future, just inform Madam, she will help you!"

Daiyu listened to what Madam Zhao said, her eyes falling on the row of gifts displayed in the main hall. She didn't know how to repay Xu Zhilan's kindness.

She asked Madam Zhao to rest for a while in the main hall, and she turned around and quickly returned to her room.

She sent all the maids away and began to look for a suitable gift for Xu Zhilan in the warehouse.
